Dear R-experts,
I am installing new libraries using
install.packages("ggplot2",dependencies=T).
But I perceive that many dependencies are already installed. As I am using
a low-band internet, how can avoid reinstall installed libraries?

There's no problem with installed libraries, as ...
they DO NOT EXIST.
These are *PACKAGES* !
Why do you think are you talking about the function
install.packages() ????

To answer the question you did want to ask:
Do not be afraid: Depedencies are only installed when needed,
i.e., no package will be downloaded and installed if it already
is there.
